Hi all , Im not that knowledged up Kuwie's but i picked up this one yesterday and done some searching around last night to try and id it -
I was leaning towards an 84 Nova , then onto a Bravo ? Now it seems more like a 86 Nova Titleist -
Like this one -
Im just gonna get some paint stripper on the BB to see what stamping there is ? at the moment i can only see some faint numbers under the spray - 86 81 86
Will post more pics in a mo

Was about to ask is it original paint, then seen your 2nd post.
Did the paint stripper not touch the red paint underneath?
A Kuwi expert on here may be able to confirm what Kuwaharas came with red paint in 86.
This link I put on retrodans thread but does not have info on freestylers but will do in the future.

Good shout it's a Titleist. All stock parts by the look of it as well
I think production had moved from Japan to Taiwan at this stage.
It could well be the same frame as the Laserlite 3000.
